Review summary

Royal Caribbean still provides a great value in cruising.  Ship was newly refurbished and it showed.  Service, especially cabin attendant, was uniformly excellent.  Great food at specialty restaurants.  Main dining room showed signs of cost cutting with lobsters the size of large shrimp and tiny scallops. Entertainment choices were limited to comedians and only two production shows ("Saturday Night Fever" was excellent), again signs of cost cutting.  We noticed more hawking of packages than previous cruises, to the point of distraction.
